We're still stuck in a cycle of sun for a while each day, then torrents of rain. Everywhere is saturated, and the drainage ditches, creeks, and streams are overflowing. There has been flooding a few miles to the North. It looks like this is going to continue this week for a few more days.

On the plus side, the garden seems to be enjoying the steady cycle of sun and rain.

The humidex is 44 deg C today: that makes the third day in a row over 40C and they are predicting it will stay until Saturday. It is pretty miserable trying to get anything done. Just walking outside generates a lot of sweat. I don't know how people farther south live with this heat!

Another 44C humidex day. I keep telling myself that it is worse elsewhere (the weather station reports that NYC has a humidex today of 49C and Chicago is at 52C!) but that does not seem to help much. Best part of the day was hosing the horses down by myself: we all got totally soaking wet with cold water from the hose. Ahhhh! I just may have got a little sloppy with it on purpose. (No a/c you see: got to get primitive)
